Even as I try to close this writing,
more comes to light. Let us consider two timely items which must
be added here.

With everything said thus far in this
writing concerning the great importance of Passover, an important
point must be noted concerning the possible relevance and even
prophetic testimony of the delayed Passover.

Because of the Law and various
testimonies concerning the delayed Passover, it would be entirely
possible, and even most likely, that Yahweh would fulfill the
double Passover, not on a regular Passover, but during a one
month later delayed Passover - one month after Nisan 14, or Iyar
14. Though we can only briefly mention this here, we find that
the two Remnants addressed in this piece frequently exchange
testimonies as though the two are in fact one. This is a most
important point to remember. Although the first striking of the
rock in the wilderness was during a delayed Passover, and the
latter strikings during a regular Passover, because the
testimonies of these two Remnants are very frequently
interchanged, the reverse could and very possibly will happen
(i.e., first Passover, then later a delayed Passover). Yahshua
was crucified on Passover, this being the first striking of the
rock; thus it would seem likely that the second striking of the
rock, bringing forth water "abundantly," would actually
be at the alternately testified striking on a delayed Passover.
We have had the Passover testimony at Yahshuas crucifixion;
it now seems to be time for the remaining delayed Passover
testimony.

The fulfillment of this awaited double
Passover during a delayed Passover is entirely legal, would in no
way alter the Passover testimony, and would fulfill the following
outstanding prophetic events. In addition to the striking of the
first rock in the wilderness, the following events occurred
precisely during the time of the eight days of a delayed Passover
(Iyar 14-21).

King Hezekiahs double delayed
Passover following his restoration of the temple -
celebrated with "great joy," "there was
nothing like this in Jerusalem since the days of Solomon
the son of David, king of Israel" (2 Chronicles 30).

On the fifteenth, the first day of
a delayed Unleavened Bread (part of Passover), Yahweh
promised the children of Israel - "Behold, I will
rain bread from heaven for you" (Exodus 16:1-4).

On the seventeenth, Noah entered
the ark and Yahweh began to flood the earth with water -
"all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and
the floodgates of the sky were opened" (Genesis
7:11-14). Once again we see the testimony of rain, very
possibly relating to the latter rain.

On the twentieth, in the second
year that the children of Israel had come out of Egypt
and immediately following the construction of the
tabernacle, the ark, and all the associated fixtures,
"they moved out for the first time according to the
commandment of Yahweh through Moses" (Numbers
10:11-14).

Now extending the Passover to include
those days in which Hezekiahs double delayed Passover
occurred (the 14th through the 28th), we find one additional
testimony.

On the twenty-seventh, one year and
ten days after Noah entered the ark and the flood began,
"the earth was dry. Then God spoke to Noah, saying,
Go out of the ark .... So Noah went out
..." (Genesis 8:14f). Again we see the testimony of
going out.

So what will Yahweh do? These events on
delayed Passovers testify of a great rain from heaven and moving
out for the first time according to the commandment of Yahweh,
the very events which could be fulfilled on a higher level per
the latter rain and bringing the Remnant bride out of the body of
Christ. The period of the delayed Passover seems to be the most
likely time for Yahweh to send His latter rain. And remember,
since the former rain was specifically on a feast - Pentecost, or
fifty days after Passover - one would expect that the latter rain
would equally be on a feast - a delayed Passover. So, for now we
must wait, listen, and watch for what Yahweh might either reveal
to us beforehand, or what He might simply do. We wait.

Now for the second item. We are provided
considerable well founded and persuasive evidence in Steve
Jones book, Secrets of Time, that Yahshua was born
on the Feast of Trumpets, September 29, 2 BC, or 3,893 years from
Adam (page 208). Certainly significantly, 1999 was the 5,893rd
year from Adam. Simple math lets us know that 1999 marked
precisely the 2,000th anniversary since the birth of Yahshua in 2
BC! But one other marvelous and essential event occurred in that
year. A preluding and most important figure was born - John the
Baptist.

Yahshua declared that John was Elijah,
and what the people did to John would likewise befall Him
(Matthew 17:10-13). But in those same verses, Yahshua equally
declared that Elijah was still to come - preceding the return of
Yahshua. Who will this Elijah be that will precede the second
coming of Yahshua? To answer this question thoroughly would
require writing an entirely separate piece; but for the sake of
this writing and this unique and highly important moment in time,
let us look at some hopeful and wonderful truths concerning John
the Baptist's birth.

It is generally accepted that John was
conceived five to six months before the conception of Yahshua. In
Luke 1:24-26 we read - "in the sixth month (of
Elizabeths pregnancy) the angel Gabriel was sent from
God" to Mary. With this information, and since Yahshua was
born on Trumpets, or Tishri 1, we know the general time of
Johns birth. Without getting complicated, backing up five
to six months from Tishri 1 places the birth of John sometime in
the first month. Precisely five and one-half months would be
Nisan 14, or Passover. Before drawing any conclusions here, let
us now consider the timing of Johns death.

The time of Johns death is clearly
established in the Scriptures. Matthew 14 and Mark 6 record the
events of Johns death; whereupon we find that the disciples
went to Yahshua and told Him what had happened to John. According
to Matthew, this sorrowful news provoked Yahshua to withdraw to a
lonely place; but the people followed Him. This was when Yahshua
fed the 5,000. Now, John 6:4 specifically tells us that this took
place at the time of Passover. So, we know that John the Baptist
was killed specifically at Passover.

Now that we see when John died, let us
look again at the time of his birth. Considering Johns
great significance as Elijah, his death at Passover, his birth in
the first month of Nisan, as well as the great significance of
Passover, it is most conclusive that John was equally born during
Passover, or Nisan 14 through 21. Thus we see that John was both
born during Passover, and died during Passover!

What can we conclude from this? John the
Baptist was not only Elijah, but he was equally a picture of
Elijah that must come before the return of Yahshua; and both his
birth and his death are identified specifically with Passover,
the time in which the Israelites entered into the promised land
and the time in which the church will enter into its promised
land of incorruptible life. This John the Elijah was thus clearly
identified, both by his birth as well as his death, with the
testimony and promise of Passover. John is an in-part
representation of the coming fulfillment of the Passover promise
of overcoming death.

The question arises then - Who will this
Passover-identified Elijah be that will precede the return of
Yahshua? It will not be one man, as was the preluding testimony,
but will be a people - a host of men and women who, like Elijah,
will not taste death but will ascend alive into heaven. Elijah,
who will precede the return of Yahshua, will be the Passover
Remnant addressed in this writing, and more specifically the
promise-receiving second son of fresh oil Remnant.

April, 1999, marked a single most
significant anniversary event. Exactly 2,000 years prior,
following five months of seclusion and a three month visit by
Mary, Elizabeth was cradling in her arms her newborn miraculously
conceived and forenamed son, John. Johns father, Zacharias,
who had been mute during the entire period of Elizabeths
pregnancy, scribbling notes on tablets in a feeble effort to
communicate, was speaking, having prophesied under the unction of
the Holy Spirit concerning the great significance of his newborn
son. Mary had returned home, and was expectantly awaiting the
birth of her own miraculously conceived child.

Passover in April of 1999, marked the
2,000th anniversary of the birth of John the Baptist! Is it now
time for the birth of the latter day Elijah second Remnant who
will precede the return of Yahshua?

The number 2,000 is a MOST important
number! Mathematician James Harrison ably reveals in his book, The
Pattern & The Prophecy, that the number 2,000 is a highly
determining "watershed number." Even as the Great
Divide separates the waters of this nation to flow either east or
west, so the number 2,000 has the same determining power to
divide mathematics (as competently demonstrated by Harrison), as
well as time.

The church, most significantly, is the
only work or dispensation of Yahweh to span an entire 2,000
years. Even the period of all the patriarchs from Adam to Abraham
was not even 2,000 years. The church, the kingdom of heaven on
earth, is the only work of Yahweh to cross this great determining
watershed number! Even so, Yahweh does nothing that He does not
otherwise pre-evidence or forerepresent. Where then do we see
evidence of this determining 2,000 year mark for the kingdom of
heaven?

It is MOST significant that the Great
Divide along the Rocky Mountains of America separates the United
States, and even North America, into two-thirds and one-third
portions. Look at a map and you will see this Divine division.
Equally, the church's tenure is separated into like two-thirds,
2,000 years, and one-thirds, 1,000 years, portions. (Recall that
Zechariah 13:7-9 specifically divides the kingdom two-thirds and
one-third.) America is Yahweh's physical design and testimony
that reveals and confirms these divisions within the kingdom
(among other marvelous and revealing testimonies). The name
America itself means "heavenly kingdom." The word
"amer" is from the Saxon word meaning
"heavenly." "Ric" means kingdom (recall the
"Third Reich" or "third kingdom" of Germany).
The "a" at the end makes the word feminine. Thus,
America, even by its name, is the Heavenly Kingdom on earth. What
is the Divine testimony Yahweh has provided concerning the
division of this kingdom? It clearly is this - there is a marked
division in the flow of water specifically at the
two-thirds/one-third mark in the kingdom; or for the true kingdom
of heaven, at the 2,000 year mark!

Drawing from further Scriptural evidence
- as we have briefly addressed in this writing, this 2,000 year
mark is seen in the 2,000 swine that went to their deaths in the
sea. Additionally, this great divide at the 2,000 year mark is
seen in the 2,000 baths of water in Solomons sea recorded
in 1 Kings 7:26, versus the 3,000 baths of water in the selfsame
sea as recorded in 2 Chronicles 4:5. A most meaningful and
insightful contradiction, once again we see the
two-thirds/one-third, or more specifically the 2,000 year/1,000
year, structure of the church. (Note that despite being two
entirely different "objects" - the place where the
swine fled and the place where the priests bathed - both possess
the common name of "the sea.")

When exactly is this Great Divide
watershed number, testified to in both creation as well as in
Scriptures, crossed by the church? If you date the church from
the birth of John and Yahshua (i.e., at the time of the sprouting
of the young blade), it was crossed in 1999. And the first event
to mark that crossing took place with the 2,000th anniversary of
the birth of John the Elijah during Passover, 1999. The delayed
Passover beginning May 1, 1999, was the first delayed Passover to
occur on this side of this watershed 2,000.

We live in a most important period of
time, and the events that will occur in the soon coming days
and/or years will come as a great surprise to all Christians (who
think they have eschatology figured out), and will forever change
the course of all mankind!

For now, we await the birth of the
preluding "John the Elijah" second Remnant, loosing the
tongue of muted Zacharias to speak and to prophesy, and preparing
the way for the return of Yahshua. Oh Yahweh of hosts, let your
new double-Passover ascending-alive-dove tree-of-life work begin!
Bring forth your Elijah! Amen!
